Fixing users in SQL2005 after restoring a DB

After you restore a database in SQL Server 2005 to a different server, you will need to fix the login associated with the users in the database this can be done by using the following stored procedure:

exec sp_change_users_login 'AUTO_FIX','UserName'


If you don't do this you will get an error while trying to login as the user. This needs to be done for each user in the database.
